I'm no trooper

Chapter 33: Beach Day

F/N's perspective

The day after the meeting with the Boss, we were out on a mission again. Our current task was to lure in our targets...which, at the moment, I have no idea why having a day at the beach would accomplish.

F/N: "Is this the best way to lure out the Jaegers'?'

Lubbock: "Oh, so you're saying you don't want to watch the girls bounce around in bikinis?"

Tatsumi: "Dude, this is all part of the mission, though I don't understand it myself either."

He said, the both of us looking at the perv of the group. Lubbock just looked up at us like we were crazy.

Lubbock: "Wow, I'm starting to question you two's sexuality."

F/N: And I'm starting to wonder how much brain damage you have."

I said; steam came out of Lubbock's ears as he glared at me.

Lubbock: "Wanna say that again-

Leone: "Hey F/N!"

The blonde yelled, stopping Lubbock from retorting as we all looked over. She and Chelsea walked up out of the water, the whole thing looking like something out of Baywatch as the two looked at me a little seductively.

Leone: "We want your opinion, who's swimsuit is better, mine, or Chelsea's."

Chelsea: "Think carefully before you answer."

They said as the two inched closer, both of their attire showing off a lot of their figures, blood rushing to my cheeks as I stuttered a bit.

F/N: "U-um, well, you're both... Oh, hey, look! Bulat and Susanoo are here!"

I yelled as the two walked out of the treeline, wearing swim trunks like the rest of the guys and myself.

Leone: "Aw, how cute. He dodged the question."

Lubbock: "Wait, why didn't you ask me! I would have given you a very accurate and straight answer!"

Leone: "Cause we already knew what you would say, dumbass."

Chelsea: "Yeah, it means nothing coming from you, sorry."

Lubbock: "What does that mean?! Why does F/N get all the action!?"

Leone: "Cause he's to tease, I mean, look at his little reactions."

She said with a giggle as I looked away, the blush on my cheeks not getting any better as Tatsumi patted my back.

Tatsumi: "Reduced to nothing but entertainment, I'm so sorry."

He said, though I just smacked him upside the head before shouting.

F/N: "You are not helping!"

Tatsumi: "I never said I was?!"

Bulat: "Now, now you two, this may be a mission, but it doesn't mean we can't get some much-needed rest while we are at it. We have a battle coming up, and we can't have you two off your game."

Tatsumi and F/N: "Yes, Bro...

We said and stopped our little quarrel, the girls just giggling to themselves before going off to do their own thing. On the other hand, I just made my way under one of the trees that stood a little ways from the lake's shore, the ground mixing between the sandy beach and the coarse soil that made up the forest floor. Settling down, I rested underneath the canopy of the oak, letting a sigh escape my lips. Sunlight shined through the small gap in the leaves, the rays feeling warm against my war-torn skin.
